I love how all the comments go on and on about how we run the read option, like it's the oly thing we're capable of. It's not the only thing we do. We ran a fake punt once too, doesn't mean we're going to do it every time we line up to punt.

I gently reminded him we've beaten the Skins three straight times in the playoffs, and that it was Wilson who tied Manning's TD pass record for a rookie and not RGIII, even though he was in an offense that ran the ball more than anyone else in the NFL.

Ignore that redskins fan, he shows up to post first on basically every PFT article usually he's just trolling everyone with redskins talk.

I'm a little surprised he was so dismissive about it, I would think tebow would at least get a little look from a team that's obviously in search of a backup QB, a TE, and a Fullback who obviously would be all about 'competition'. I think the only reason the Seahawks wouldn't be more interested is that there just isn't room on the depth chart. There is a log-jam at FB/RB/TE/WR and we're only going to carry 2 QB's more than likely.

It's too tempting to resist rubbing Redkins fans in the crap that is the their post-season record against us. We've made them our bitch, and I love it.

Tebow...not surprised in the least. He's NOT an NFL caliber QB. Not even close. We already have FOUR QB's on the roster with a camp invite to another. This fullback thing gets thrown around a lot as well...who says he could play fullback? Anyways, our competition at FB is now Spencer Ware.

I'm not. Tebow has apparently been adamant that he's not switching positions, electing to stay at the one position he's proven that he's not capable of playing. Why court media frenzy stupidity for a guy who has abysmal accuracy?

Tebow already said he would be fine switching positions if that was how he stayed in the NFL.

Seahawks | Unlikely to pursue Tim TebowSat, 06 Apr 2013 10:12:23 -0700 The Seattle Seahawks did look into the possibility of trading for New York Jets QB Tim Tebow but likely will not pursue him at this point. Source: The Seattle Times - Danny O'Neil

Check the few articles that will talk about it. The hawks called KNOWING that they would have to give up picks for Tebow and STILL CALLED.

"Ah NO", is an answer that came after picking up 15 QBs, but his answer just a few weeks ago was "It depends if they will take the picks we offer for Tebow"

PC noticed that Tebow threw for an amazing 75% last year and said "Ill drop some picks on that" And he tried, But the Jets wanted to much for Tebow. It seems if they wanted to get rid of him, they would have worked out a deal.

But YES THE SEAHAWKS WANTED TEBOW, LETS NOT ACT LIKE THEY DIDN'T. - THEY CALLED AND THEY OFFERED PICKS

What the hell are you going on about? If you're referencing this article: http://seattletimes.com/html/seahawks/2 ... wks06.html Nowhere does he reference trading picks for Tebow. He mentions the idiotic rumors by others that Seattle would do it because of our "read option offense".

Ya i'm trying to find in that article where it says we offered draft pics...said they expressed interest but he was not someone they were really considering... sounded like they had a group of guys they wanted to bring in and look at, and ultimately chose Quinn from that group.. they didn't even bring Tebow in for a look.. That alone should tell you they were really not considering him... that's what i got out of it anyways..

lol. You pick one article and call it good. The facts are the facts, they called and offered picks. Trust me the media hates that guy and would not give him the respect of a team offering picks for him, unless they have to. They say the truth and then make backward lies.

The hawks called and offered picks for Tim (the hawks are not going to call on a trade and ask for him for free...DUH, of course they offered picks)

Spokane wrote:When was the last time a team called on a trade and said can I have him for free?

Don't be a tool or a blind goat, they offered picks, and the Jets wanted more

OK, i'll bite.

Now assuming someone did trade for him, he is owed $2,586,875 salary and $1,531,875 of that guaranteed. His contract made him a free agent in 2015. If someone claims him off waivers, that is how much that team will owe him.

If not one claims him, the Jets owe him his guaranteed money and any team who wants to can sign him to a new contract.

Could you post a source where it says we offered picks? Checking a price and making an offer are two very different things.

Tebow already said he would be fine switching positions if that was how he stayed in the NFL.

I seem to recall recent reports that said the Jets gave Tebow's agent permission to seek a deal, and none materialized because teams were only interested in Tebow if he would switch from QB to a different position.

I wish the Tebow talk would just go away, he isn't playing here or even in the NFL currently and even after the NFL draft, there is more Tebow talk all over NFL.com and the like. Ugh, worse than the "Honey Badger" media frenzy of the last couple of months.

Biiiiiig difference, Mathieu actually has the skills his position requires.

Spokane, are you related to Tebow or something? This is the second thread I have seen you go all "One Man Tebow Army" with these asinine statements and arguments about Tebow. I'm tempted to say "give it up" but its pretty funny, so keep on fighting the good fight dude!

1.) The report says we "inquired" about Tebow, not that we "offered picks"2.) NEWS FLASH: John Schnieder "inquires" about players all the time -it's his job. That's what any good GM does: keep track of which players might be available and what the price will be. I'm sure Schnieder probably "inquired" about every other guy on the Jets' roster while he had Izdik on the phone. 3.) Various reports say that the Jets were letting Tebow & his agent shop themselves the past couple weeks. Everyone knew he was going to be cut this offseason. They didn't cut him until after the draft. Connect the dots ... that means the Jets were looking to get anything for him, even if it was a conditional 7th rounder, and no team (including the 'Hawks) would give up even that insignificant a pick.

I'm sick of chasing after my dreams. I'm just going to find out where they're headed, and catch up with them later.

Technically, according to Einstein, if you pick the Earth as your frame of reference, the Earth doesn't spin and all the universe is spinning around it. it's called Relativity. The universe is spinning, relative to the earth. His example was even that if you're in an elevator, the elevator doesn't go up, the whole universe goes down, relative to you.

So yes, technically, the earth isn't spinning, relative to the rest of the universe.

Richard Sherman doesn't just wanna get in your head, he wants to build a vacation home there.

If it werent for all the crazy Tebow fans and the insane media coverage I would rather have him then Portis, Johnson or Quinn. But when those things come with it i'll stick with our no talent backups rather then bringing in a no talent backup who brings a circus.
